US Policy
This is a very interesting piece on US policy
Excerpt: "There are real reasons for the war. One principal reason Saddam had to be toppled is the US administration’s objective of preventing the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) from adopting the Euro as the currency standard for oil transactions instead of the dollar. The reduction of the dollar’s hegemony in the world economy could not be allowed. And for this to be done, the US had to extend its influence and control of OPEC. Iraq, as the country with the second-biggest oil reserves, had to be conquered. So, Saddam had to go. And he went."http://www.news24.com/City_Press/Col...054643,00.html |

Yeah I knew that . After Saddam demanded the US pay him in Euro for the oil I knew it was a rap for him.
